Hi Stevod2;

Try this string pattern.

(?:\u00A9|(c)|copyright)\s*?([^\.>]+)

Start with your copyright options:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; (?&lt;=&amp;copy;|copyright|©|\(c<wbr />\)) &nbsp; &nbsp;-- match any of the copyright indicators<br />
<br />
Then capture all the text<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; [^.?,&lt;&gt;]+ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -- match one or more ( + ) characters which are NOT ( [^] ) mentioned here ( .?,&lt;&gt; )<br />
<br />
Then put it together<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; (?:&amp;copy;|copyright|©|\(c\<wbr />))[^.?,&lt;&gt;]<wbr />+<br />

<pre><code id="code-1108881">(?&lt;=&amp;copy;|copyright|©|\(c\))[^.?,&lt;&gt;]+
</code></pre>

You have to escape your parens in &quot;(c)&quot; &nbsp;:)

@FernandoSoto

You have to escape your parens in "(c)"  :)

<div>
Hi Stevod2;<br />
<br />
if you want to add other &quot;closing punctuation marks&quot; add them to this part of the part, ([^\.&gt;]+), for example if you wanted to add the comma, &quot;,&quot;, to the list add the following characters to the list, &quot;,&quot;, so that the end results is as follows, ([^\.&gt;,]+) .<br />

Hi Stevod2;

if you want to add other "closing punctuation marks" add them to this part of the part, ([^\.>]+), for example if you wanted to add the comma, ",", to the list add the following characters to the list, ",", so that the end results is as follows, ([^\.>,]+) .

Hi Fernando.<br />
<br />
This is definately along the right lines. I have modified as follows for .Net:<br />
<br />
(?:&amp;copy;|\u00A9|\(c\)|cop<wbr />yright)\s*<wbr />?(?&lt;Name&gt;[<wbr />^\.&lt;]+)<br />
<br />
How could i get it to ignore a year value if it occurs between the copyright symbol and the company name, and just capture the company name itself.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Yes as kaufmed pointed out my pattern does need to excape the ( and ) around the c so to correct my post it should be:<br />
<br />
(?:\u00A9|\(c\)|copyright)<wbr />\s*?([^\.&gt;<wbr />]+)<br />

Here you go:<br />
<br />
(?:&amp;copy;|\u00A9|\(c\)|cop<wbr />yright)\s*<wbr />?\d{4}\s*?<wbr />(?&lt;Name&gt;[^<wbr />\.&lt;]+)

Here you go:

I need to extract the company name from the usual forms of copyright on a web page. The description is as follows:<br />
<br />
2. match the copyright symbol comprising one of: <br />
&amp;copy; <br />
&quot;copyright&quot; as text<br />
copyright symbol as character<br />
&quot;(c)&quot; as text<br />
<br />
2. Capture all the text between the copyright symbol and the next closing punctuation mark or tag.<br />

Not really sure how to start!<br />

Regex for extract Company Name from copyright

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
